- Edit any earlier message in a conversation — the app forks the session at that point, rewinds the workspace to that run's checkpoint, and re-runs from your edited prompt. Restores are transactional and workspace-atomic, so a failed restore won't leave you half-rewound.
- Fixed long-running chat turns timing out mid-response.
- Checkpoints are now created reliably — including after a restart, after compaction, and on the first turn of a resumed session — and restoring one rewinds the whole workspace, not just the conversation.
- Fixed checkpoint restores failing after you closed and reopened a session.
- Reasoning controls (effort, thinking budget, on/off) now come from the shared model catalog, so each model gets exactly the reasoning options it actually supports instead of provider-specific guesses.
- Errors from upstream providers forwarded through the gateway now show the real message (e.g. "This model's maximum context length is 40960 tokens…") instead of a raw validation dump or
[object Object]. - Ollama: empty responses are retried automatically, and the response-start timeout is raised to 5 minutes so cold model loads don't error out.
- OpenRouter now defaults to Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5.
- Model pickers show proper display names for Cline free models and recommended models.
- MCP servers now honor their configured per-server timeout.
- Fixed API keys for several providers being lost when migrating from an older install — all secret-backed providers now migrate correctly.
- Unknown or removed legacy model IDs now fall back to the default Cline model instead of failing.
- Fixed agentic compaction not persisting reliably, so long conversations resume in the right state.
- Fixed a
.clinerulessingle file (the older format) aborting the whole rules and config scan. - Fixed video input being dropped for models that support it.
- Fixed the workspace hint being sent for filesystem-root paths.
- Custom model info for OpenAI-Compatible providers now carries over into the seeded model catalog.
- Removed the "Enable R1 messages format" option from the OpenAI-Compatible provider.
